<strong>Software</strong> License Management<br />
3.5. <strong>Software</strong> License Management<br />
<strong>Software</strong> License Management is a consistent process for installing <strong>and</strong> enabling the<br />
use of software products. Its purpose is to ensure that products are properly licensed for<br />
use on a given system. This process was initially deployed in <strong>ClearPath</strong> <strong>OS</strong> <strong>2200</strong><br />
<strong>Release</strong> 10.0. Full enforcement functionality will be implemented in a future release.<br />
This process is an extension of previous technologies that use keys to validate <strong>and</strong><br />
enable capabilities, such as the <strong>Software</strong> Controlled Performance key <strong>and</strong> software<br />
product keys.<br />
3.5.1. Definitions<br />
This subsection defines several terms <strong>and</strong> concepts used with the <strong>Software</strong> License<br />
Management functionality.<br />
Manufacturing Control Number (MCN)<br />
MCN uniquely identifies a Unisys <strong>ClearPath</strong> system. Each hardware system is assigned a<br />
unique MCN when the system is built. The MCN remains the same for the life of the<br />
system. Use the MODELNUM keyin to determine the system MCN.<br />
<strong>Software</strong> Control Number (SCN)<br />
SCN is a seven-digit number assigned when the system software is purchased. This<br />
number uniquely identifies the software that is licensed to the system, including:<br />
• <strong>Software</strong> IOE products<br />
• Optional products<br />
• <strong>Software</strong> performance levels (Image Enabler Key)<br />
A system can have multiple SCNs, one for each licensed software group.<br />
Note: <strong>Software</strong> keys before <strong>ClearPath</strong> <strong>OS</strong> <strong>2200</strong> <strong>Release</strong> 10.0 are displayed as a 12-digit<br />
SCN (000000000000). The Master SCN is a 12-digit SCN (999999999999).<br />
SCN can change during the life of a system. Initially, an SCN is created when the<br />
system software is purchased. A new SCN will be created for an existing system when<br />
the system is upgraded to a new performance level <strong>and</strong> the software is relicensed. Use<br />
the MODELNUM keyin to determine the system SCN.<br />
Pre-10.0 <strong>Release</strong> SCN<br />
The pre-10.0 release SCN value is 000000000000. Beginning with <strong>ClearPath</strong> <strong>OS</strong> <strong>2200</strong><br />
<strong>Release</strong> 10.0, SOLAR level 4R4 automatically attaches this SCN value to any pre-10.0<br />
release software product key in the system key table. This allows registration of the<br />
product key tape <strong>and</strong> installation of software products from releases prior to <strong>ClearPath</strong><br />
<strong>OS</strong> <strong>2200</strong> <strong>Release</strong> 10.0.<br />
